Well, it was even easier than that -- Michael knew what she wanted. If Terri would have placed what she said to Michael, to his brother, and to her best friend in writing, we never would have heard of Terri Schiavo.

But I agree with you. Sometimes a family doesn't know, and must decide for the loved one.

But there are those on this forum who don't want the families to choose. They insist that the families have no right, that life must be maintained, and the patient must live.

They do scare me.

To think of my wife being forced to care for my shell of a body, consciousness gone, no chance of recovery. Spending time and money on a hopeless cause, having to look at me every day and be reminded of who I once was.

All so these nosy busybodies can feel good about themselves. Disgusting.

Yes, it is disgusting. I had the hardest time listening to either Rush or Hannity during the time the Schiavo thing was all over the news. I even heard Rush nearly call someone a murderer who told him that he made a similar decision about a loved one. Very scary.

To think of my wife...

robertpaulsen, I continue to be amazed by you. Who would have ever believed that anyone in the world would marry a man like you?! LOL
